For example, http://ramnathv.github.io/rNotebook/?c06d4f0488af3dbdedc4 should automatically load the contents of the gist.
I can extend this to load urls as well. The code is already there in ace-shiny.js
, but needs to be cleaned up a bit.

This should be done for both the Shiny and OpenCPU versions of the notebook.
For the Shiny version, I can use parseQueryString
which makes it easy to return key value pairs of the query string. I can combine this with the clientData
parameter introduced in Shiny, which makes it easy to retrieve information about the URL.
shinyServer(function(input, output, clientData) {
# Return the components of the URL in a string:
output$urlText <- renderText({
paste(sep = "",
"protocol: ", clientData$url_protocol, "\n",
"hostname: ", clientData$url_hostname, "\n",
"pathname: ", clientData$url_pathname, "\n",
"port: ", clientData$url_port, "\n",
"search: ", clientData$url_search, "\n"
)
})
# Parse the GET query string
output$queryText <- renderText({
query <- parseQueryString(clientData$url_search)
# Return a string with key-value pairs
paste(names(query), query, sep = "=", collapse=", ")
})
})
